..."now cut them in half Mémère"...he knew he had to squeeze the oranges onto the juicer.
"Wow Mémère, this is the best orange juice EVER!" (he was closing his eyes because the flash was too bright).
I said try to open your eyes...this was the best he could do, LOL!
Then we were off to Darnell Farm to pick fresh strawberries...both for eating and for making jam together...
...eat some...Liam thought they were wonderful..."sooooo sweet Mémère!"...
...pick some...
...and pick some more...
Pretty, aren't they?
Then we went to walk around the Smoky Mountain National Park Oconaluftee Mountain Farm (click on the link to see more about it, a place that makes you wonder about life in the 19th century.
We then drove through a bit of the Blue Ridge Parkway, and were pleasantly surprised by a wild turkey and her chicks crossing the road...it's hard to see them in the grass,
but if you look closely you can see 3 of them in this picture (it looked like there were 7 or 8 of them!).
We stopped at several overlooks, but this one filled me with wonder at how amazing the mountains are.
It's been a day filled with wonder, and it's not over yet!

ReplyDeleteWhen I was growing up my grandparents raised about two acres of strawberries. When it was time to pick We would go spend a week with them to help. I was paid 15 cents per quart for picking.
